How to make an easy mead.

Add approx 3lb of honey (three medium-sized jars) to a litre of water and warm carefully on your stove until dissolved. Its important not to over do it on the heating, as hot honey burns like napalm.
When your mixture has cooled sufficiently, pour into a clean demijohn and top up with water.
Add a chopped apple, the juice of a zesty lemon and a small handful of raisins, then add 1 teaspoonful of yeast and give it a shake.
Fit a bung and airlock, then leave in a warm place.

It should take around two months to clear, after which you should syphon into clean bottles and cork.
